Native Plant Gardening: Gardening for Birds sessions offered

Want to learn more about gardening specifically for our fine feathered friends? Plan on joining this webinar on Jan. 13 from 7 – 8 p.m.

“Gardening for Birds” shares some of the interactions between birds and native plants and provides ideas for improving properties of all sizes for birds.

Presenter Stephen Kress lives with his wife Elissa on a 40-acre rural property at the edge of Ithaca, NY, where he tests techniques for improving gardens and landscapes for birds. This presentation is hybrid – you may attend in person or virtually and it will be recorded with materials sent to all who register.

Stephen Kress is a visiting fellow of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and founder of Audubon’s Project Puffin. He has a lifelong interest in creating habitats for land birds with a focus on native plants that benefit birds and pollinators.

He received his undergraduate and master’s degrees in wildlife management from Ohio State University and his Ph.D. in environmental education from Cornell. Among his many books on birding and backyard wildlife management, he is author of “The Bird Garden.”

This program is valued at $20; however, please pay what you are able. Paying more than $20 will help others attend the class.
